Sarah Jessica Parker & Twins Out in Manhattan

 Two-year-old Tabitha gave a massive smile as she perched in her famous mother's arms in New York today.

The actress was taking the toddler and her twin sister Marion to nursery along with their nanny.

The foursome arrived in the back of a chauffeur-driven car, with a twin on each adult's lap, rather than using carseats.

Sarah, who also has a nine-year-old older son, James, with actor husband Matthew Broderick looked stylish for the school run in grey skinny jeans, a loose-fitting top and orange sandals.

Her blonde curls fell loosely around her face and she added dark shades to the ensemble.

All three ladies are preparing themselves for their impending move to Brooklyn with father Matthew Broderick and older brother James, nine.

A source told the New York Daily News that the couple are close to finalising on a contract to buy adjacent townhouses in the borough's most exclusive neighbourhood.

'They loved the West Village but wanted something more private, laid-back and discreet,' an insider said about the actress.

The two properties knocked together will turn it into a spacious 7,000 square foot abode with a huge garden in the back for their brood.

Sarah Jessica Parker & Twins Out in Manhattan

The 47-year-old actress and two-year-old twins were seen wearing matching grey cardigans this morning in New York City, as the mother of three picked her youngest children up from their preschool class.

Both girls wore the same sweater, though Tabitha's was a darker charcoal colour, while the flaxen-haired Marion's was more of a heather shade. 

Sarah Jessica actually appeared more subdued than usual in a belted grey cardigan, rolled up blue jeans and black ballet flats.

In contrast, her daughters' outfits were far more fun. 

Darker-haired daughter Tabitha paired bright red trainers with rainbow-striped tights and a green T-shirt. 

Marion was the girlier of the two with her light grey tights, pink shirt and blonde locks pulled into two braids. 

The latter clutched a realistic looking toy dog to her chest, while her sister played with a pink and green plush toy.
